Quadriceps: This stretch helps to reduce muscle tightness, improve circulation, and increase flexibility in the muscles of the front of the thigh.
Knees: This stretch helps to reduce tension in the knee joint and ligaments, allowing for more efficient movement and improved range of motion.
Hips: This stretch helps to loosen tightness in the hip flexors and improve range of motion, which can help to reduce lower back pain.
Core Muscles: This stretch helps to strengthen the core muscles of the abdomen and lower back, improving posture and stability.
Calves: This stretch helps to reduce tension in the calf muscles, increasing flexibility and reducing the risk of injury.
